If amplifiers go into clipping, either the limiter setting should be lowered or the amplifier must be
replaced with a more powerful model. Limit settings should be carefully re-examined whenever the make or
model of amp used for an output band is changed and Gain parameters may also need to be changed. Limiter
thresholds and Gain (drive level settings) are two different parameters. The Gain output for individual bands can
be increased or decreased by +/- 15 dB in 0.2 dB steps for balancing the band outputs. The output limiter
threshold value remains set independently of the output gain.
IMPORTANT: Different amplifier makes and models can have different gain and input
sensitivity. Consult the particular amplifier's specifications for input sensitivity ratings.
Amplifiers with switchable input sensitivity should be set for 0.775 volts = 0 dBu. At this
sensitivity the limiter settings can be calculated by reducing the number of dB from the
maximum amplifier output to match the driver's AES power rating.
